Projects
Intelligent Disposition System, A system that provides disposition based on parametric values in test result logs, Achieved 100% disposition accuracy, Improved TAT for product disposition by 99% Automated Debug Analyzer Dashboard, A system that makes analysis on a specific product based on failure and provide detailed instruction on debugging process. The system will also prioritize drives based on aging and MLT criticalness, Reduced Debug bone pile by 70% Yield Monitoring, A system that will monitor and trigger stakeholders when yield is about to hit the threshold. The system will also alert stakeholders provide first level report on when, where and what is the source of the problem., Reduced cost of scrapping drive due to early detection by 6%, Provided real time visibility of yield ILPT (Inline Program and Test), A cheap test system solution designed to detect SMT issues which can also be used to perform basic test in minimal time, Able to prevent 3 IQI during FAI, Reduced overall test time by 36%, Cost reduction due to ability of tester to perform similar test performed by high volume testers (2M per quarter) AST (Adapter Screening Test), The first in-house developed whole system solution which screen SATA and PCIE adapters which will be mated to SSD drives throughout the testing process., Early prevention of faulty adapters, Health of each adapter tracked online
